Aka Spidey.
Had a good cuddle session with Scaredy, cleaning up his eye again, giving him his metacam, and I found that it's actually the result of another overzealous box! He has a vertical gash of 1.5 cm directly behind the corner of his eye.
Am keeping an eye (no pun intended) on it, but it's already improving. Since cleaning it earlier in the afternoon, it's stayed open, and the wound is very clean. He has an appointment for Friday if he needs it, but I don't like unnecessary antibiotics.
In the meantime, he's had his fill of a personal dish of ground nuts, flax, and dandelion root to keep his energy up. If Spidey is being particularly vile before I go out tomorrow, he'll be spending the day in isolation again!

He is really pushing, isn't he?

Yep! He had a few tellings off last night, and ran and hid in shame. Nice to know he's scared of me  |

So Scaredygoo and I came back from the vet, I popped him into the dust bath to clean my and other scents off him, opened the cage door, and Spidey comes straight out and attacks him again! Fortunately, my hand got in the way. Within seconds.......  Cheers, mate! |

Ouch bouncy, had one or two of these in the past, not nice and very painful. Hope scaredy appreciates you taking the hit!

It's fine. Certainly smarted! goolover, I've had many from Spidey before, but only one needed antibiotics. He's such a generous goo - always giving  |

Are things calming down at all? Including your hand? Is that a tiny puncture wound with a bad reaction, or is the bite quite deep?

He'll stay like this for another few weeks, I'm sure. He's sensitive to Scaredygoo not being 100%, and genuinely thinks he's doing the best thing trying to get him to stay in. He always bites deep, and the hand is still sore and swollen, but I'm sure it will be fine  |

Nah, despite all my other issues, my immune system is pretty good - I'm rarely "ill" Spidey wasn't letting Scaredy out again tonight, so he had his own personal run around tonight with Spidey looking on through the bars  |

He's been a grumpy boy!! Is Scaredy OK? That photo is after you have washed the wound?

No wound found, just a bald patch and bad focus lol
I've been out this afternoon, but I came back to Spidey and Silly sat together, and Scaredy alone. Spidey is out of the cage, but keeps running back in to remind Scaredy not to get any ideas. Luckily, Spidey only has to see my finger in his face, and he skulks away.

He has a lot of bluster, but at least he knows who really IS top goo!
